{Hand Held Punchie Flip Book}

The covers are chipboard from the backs of paper packs covered with 6X6 Basic Grey printed paper. the pages are cream card stock (staples) cut to 4 1/2" x 6". I used the Stampin'Up round tab punch for the category tabs, the Cropidile (large hole punch) for the holes and a book ring from Staples to hold it together. the idea behind this is to be able to hold up the negative image over an stamped image to see how an stamped image would look on a particular shape or if a sentiment will "fit" that square, circle or oval...then I added some of the "other" kinds of shapes that it could be possible to stamp on besides the every popular Scallops and plain shapes, i also have tags, postage edged squares, solid flowers, hearts, tabs things like that. each page shows an negative and the punchie shape with the MFG info i have for it under it. just wrote it all by hand.

A look inside. I'm thinking I may make one of these for my dies. Like esp the frames and shapes that are similar to what i have in hand held punchies. Not sure yet if i will combine it all into one flip book or not yet, depends on how many pages it ends up being i guess. Seen something like this (much smaller) at one of the stamp club parties i went to last winter, and then Jan showed it to Alice recently so, this is what we did Sunday after noon when she came over to play. (no stamping) just gossip and punching. :)
